• Matchup to watch: What the officials call and let go could be a key variable in the low-post duel between Jared Sullinger and Cody Zeller, Indiana's leading scorer and rebounder. Zeller got in foul trouble in his Big Ten debut on Wednesday night, at Michigan State, and finished with four points and three rebounds in 23 minutes.

• Notable: William Buford has made 23 consecutive free throws and is shooting 86.7 percent from the line. The school record for a season is .900 by Jody Finney in 1968-69. … Indiana has the best three-point percentage (.450) in the country, and its three top producers behind the arc - Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford and Matt Roth - are shooting 50 percent or better. … The Hoosiers' top substitute, Will Sheehey, has missed the past two games because of an ankle injury and is not expected to play.
